And that's the gardening mini completed!



Now we can start it again for more lovely points!!

Also, I found piano in your book Sandy, so we get a few more points! 😁

Thanks Sammy - sorry I missed that!

Not a problem. I like to check when Amazon lets me, because we can all miss stuff. I always find it really difficult to catch specific words when I'm listening to an audio.

Woohooo!! We completed a mini :-D

And I shall immediately claim a task in the Gardening mini, though I'm flexible with which one it will be.

- Germinate: is 6 or more letters long
- Plant: is exactly 5 letters
- Weed: contains a double vowel
- Feed: contains a double letter

Could also be series number (though more complicated): #13
Could also be black cover.

The book is

The book I'm about to finish is the one that works for France and it has vinegar, BUT it also has a lovely blue cover and has a violin too!

Are you still working on the France book Heather? If so, I'll go with a gardening task instead. Either way we win 😁

That's really hard for me too. Catching a specific word when listening to audiobooks is near impossible.

Cris,

"Shelved Under Murder" still doesn't have a read date. The book on your Wheel shelf only shows the date you added the book but not the date when you finished it.

And "Past Due for Murder" doesn't show up on your shelves either :-/

Sorry..

In the meantime, team Interior Painting has snuck past us into first place!

Certainly not !

I can only second Claire on that one!

I'll be finishing up a book soon (I don't think it works for most of the leftover mini's we have) and I can fit one more in. What do we need the most?

Depending on whether Claire found a Y or not, we could definitely use another of those! (Elen has one, apparently, but we need 2 before the end of the round)

OK - I have a book I can read for that - thanks!

Fantastic, thanks!

No way!!

For the letter X in the next round, I recommend Daughter of the Moon Goddess as main character name is Xingyin

Will be reading 2nd book in round 3 for letter X too

I've just grabbed a book with an X narrator that's been on my tbr for years! 😁

That's ok, the mini will still be running next round, so we can slot it in then! 😁

Actually, scratch that. I'm not feeling this book right now.
Instead I'll read In Order to Live: A North Korean Girl's Journey to Freedom by Yeonmi Park which works for Korea (Tag: north-korea 367 people). Priority to the mini

That's not so good... Hope you feel better soon and that this is just a passing thing! :-)
Alas, it's that time of year. So much coughing and sneezing around these days again.

Did you watch "My Demon"?

Did you watch "My Demon"?"

I started it, really liked it and then for some reason had to pause. I'm yet to continue with this Kdrama. I fully intend to.
But I haven't been much in the mood for drama lately.

And this one is very dramatic, but it stays good until the end :-)

Round Two ends today! In not quite 13 hours to be exact.

Here is the Countdown again:

Beware that daylight savings happened in some places the weekend the first round ended, so the timing might potentially have changed for you.
